Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated on a main road, making it convenient for a 15-minute walk to the marina. The rooms were quite nice and clean, although our experience felt a bit cramped due to the smaller size, with a locked door to an adjoining room that wasn't explained. The service was excellent and highly efficient despite not being present for an early start at 7 am. The location, while handy for reaching the town center, was in a very rundown inner-city area with permit parking restrictions. The dining experience was lovely, and the staff kindly accommodated our late-night arrival without any issues. Overall, a stay with mixed impressions.
The guest house had some drawbacks like the small room size, lack of mirrors, and dated furnishings, but it did have easy access to the fire exit. I was disappointed that the room felt cramped and had limited amenities, more like a Blackpool B&B than a quality stay.
